Students Nationwide to Commemorate World Food Day By Pulling An “All-Nighter for the Poor”
http://www.foodforthepoor.org/newsroom/news/students-nationwide.html
Despite the promises of the Green Revolution begun in the 1960s, the number of hungry people in the world has increased to over 1 billion today. Yet in the midst of the current worsening food crisis, the solutions proposed are startlingly similar to those of the past.
For its sixth installment, Kitchen Table Talks will begin to dissect the complex issues of genetically engineered foods and equip participants with knowledge and specific actions to protect themselves, our community and the environment. Two of the most laudable champions in the fight to educate and protect the public from the unregulated, untested genetic engineering of food and unchecked interests of industrial agriculture will lead the conversation: UC Berkeley Microbial Ecologist, Ignacio Chapela and Center for Food Safety attorney, Zelig Golden.

U.S. Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan twill host her second Facebook chat about the 'Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food' initiative on November 5 at 3 p.m. The topic of this chat will be farm to school, which involves getting and using fresh produce and other farm products from local and regional farmers for use in local schools. The effort not only supports increasing economic opportunities for local farmers but also helps school children make healthy food choices.
